Perhaps I should clarify in the document... the driver callback (which
is what this is) should never block on resource allocation... it should
never block :-)  Any resources the driver needs should be allocated
before the call to bus_dmamap_load().  wait/nowait is passed to
bus_dmamap_load() because it may need to allocate e.g. a bounce buffer.
